1Opinion of the CourtNettesheim, J.
This is a worker's compensation case. The dispute is between Manpower Temporary Services (Manpower), the former employer of Alexander J. Buczko, and Freedom Plastics, Inc. (Freedom), Buczko's present employer. The issue is which employer is liable for worker's compensation benefits paid to Buczko as a result of his carpal tunnel syndrome.
The Labor and Industry Review Commission (LIRC) held that Freedom is liable. The circuit court reversed, holding that Manpower is liable. We reverse the circuit court's ruling and reinstate the LIRC holding.
